Genevieve in the eastern Pacific is expected to rapidly intensify into a major hurricane, potentially reaching Category 3 with winds around 125 mph, while remaining largely at sea though swells could affect Mexico’s coast and California with dangerous surf and rip currents. Nearby, Fausto remains a Category 2 hurricane, and forecasters note rapid intensification is more likely in a warming ocean, with potential broader impacts such as a later heat wave in the U.S. Southwest and western states.
Hurricane Fausto has strengthened into a Category 2 storm in the eastern Pacific and is tracking west toward Hawaii, with maximum sustained winds near 100 mph and forecasters saying winds and rainfall impacts could increase as it approaches the Hawaiian Islands; it remains far from land at roughly 1,300 miles west of Baja California and 1,600 miles east of Hilo, Hawaii. Simultaneously, swells from Fausto could bring dangerous surf and rip currents to Southern California, while Tropical Storm Bertha has dissipated after affecting the Gulf Coast region.
